［Objective/Significance］ Performance evaluation technology plays a crucial role inthe development of marine antifouling coatings with long service life，and is essential for shortening the R&D cycle and enhancing coating performance.［Analysis/Discussion/Progress］ In this article， recent advances in this field were comprehensively reviewed. Two primary evaluation methodologies： simulated testing and field shipboard trials were analyzed emphatically，with elaborating on the testing principles and limitations related to antifouling performance（including its key driving factors）and drag reduction performance. Emerging evaluation technologies such as laboratory bioassays，freshwater immersion resistance，cleaning resistance，and service life assessment were also discussed. These methods significantly enhance evaluation efficiency and accuracy through optimized experimentalconditions. Finally，current challenges in evaluation technologies were summarized，and future development directions were outlined.［Conclusion/Prospect］ The development of an intelligent evaluation system that integrates in-situ monitoring，multi-scale assessment，and artificial intelligence will offer a more reliable theoretical and methodological foundation for evaluating the antifoulingperformance and predicting the service life of marine coatings.
